The Israeli Initiative
The Israeli Initiative is an Israeli organisation that calls for formal annexation of the occupied West Bank. It also calls for the removal of the Palestinian population through 'encouraging emigration'.[1] The organisation refer to the growing Palestinian population as the 'demographic devil'.[1] The Initiative is led by former Israeli tourism minister Binyamin Elon.[2]
In 2004, Elon presented what was then referred to as the Elon Plan to the Crown Prince of Jordan.[3]
Palestinian Refugees
The Initiative calls for the creation of a program that would disperse the Palestinian population to countries outside of historic Palestine. It calls for the use of financial inducement to encourage such dispersal. It also calls for the dismantling of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency and the refugee camps.[4] The rump Palestinian population would have no political rights within the territories but instead: 'their political rights will be realized in Amman. There will be limited autonomy in the Arab settlements while day-to-day administration will be under Israel’s authority in a form to be determined in negotiations between Israel and the Kingdom of Jordan.'[1]
